This course refers to The American Bar Association’s rules regarding fees charged to clients and answers important ethics questions, including:

Who sets the fees for the client?

What determines a “reasonable” fee?

How do you craft time entries that do not reveal confidential information and case strategy?

How does supervision by the attorney apply to fees and billing?

What do Courts look for when reviewing fee petitions?

And more!

The American Bar Association’s Rules of Professional Conduct, Ethics Codes adopted by Professional Associations, Guidelines for the Utilization of Paralegals, as well as recent case law and ethics opinions, will be referenced.
